5 gallon green terror

[Jeox]

Wil my 9 inch green terror be okay in a 5 gallon tank? He can turn around and stuff,mostly hovers at he bottom becuse he is really beat up ...By the way this is only overnight an its dark here now..I don't have anything else to put him in as of the moment untill I get a divider..

only overnight eh?

you might want to aerate the crapper out of that tank then

 

[chefdazza]

if theres filtration might be ok, but get up in the night and check on him... and get up early and sort it out

 

[Euge]

i think he should be ok. but as benefica stated you might want to add some aeration

Overnight in a fiver? Yeah, that's do able.

 

[Jeox]

i guess its kinda late to post this but just letting you know that i had to keep a full grown oscar in a 5 gal bucket when i had my fisrt 55 gal break so im pretty sure youll be fine just have lots of areation

he'll be fine i use a 5 for a medication tank and have had my larger dempseys in there to heal for two weeks i know this sounds cruel but its much easier to dose the tanks and change water daily on a small hospital tank

My main concern would be to make sure he doesn't injure himself on the tank cover from being skiddish & trying to take a leap. I would likely use a weighted piece of styro or something like that for a temporary lid.

He isn't skittish at all, I just have a binder on top of it as the only lid it has is airtight.
